you have heard of obamacare. because they shove that through on a straight partyline vote people are bitter about it. we are going to have to build a team. i think i have written 16 budgets in my lifetime. i thought i am done with writing all these budgets. but i think i will be writing budgets until they put me in the ground. that is the kind of road you go on. there is another litmus test. i will tell you what it is. if it is in the yellow pages why is government doing it? you don't have to do these things. that is the way you do it, gradual, creative, send things back. and try to innovate in all ways. you are a millennial, you understand the 21st century? you remember the kindle? they cost a lot of money. now they pay you to take one.

finally, obamacare is an epicenter of red tape. in its first four years, obamacare's effects on small business amounted to $1.9 billion in regulatory costs and 11.3 million hours of compliance. this amounts to a regulatory tax of % to 5%. this is a -- of 3% to 5%. this is the cost of just one law's regulations. i yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from virginia. mr. goodlatte: i yield myself the balance of my time. i urge my colleagues to support this commonsense legislation which will help to rein in the excessive power of the executive branch of the federal government and provide for common sense being brought to the writing of federal government regulations, saving american taxpayers and consumers billions, if not trillions of dollars. it is badly needed. it is long overdue. i urge my colleagues to support the legislation and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: all time for general debate has expired. pursuant to the rule, the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-mi

first, we read that ted cruz signs up for obamacare. now we have this bipartisan compromise on the doc fix. it re-authorizes chip and provides money to our community health centers. and who knows? if this is contagious, maybe next week we'll deal with climate change. i'm feeling good as we close this week. again, i hope this is coming attractions about what we can see in the future. more bipartisan cooperation, more give and take and if we follow what we did here we actually can accomplish a lot more for the american people. and i think that would be a good thing. so with that i -- let's get this done and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from texas. mr. burgess: mr. speaker, i yield myself the balance of the time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. burgess: mr. speaker, today's rule provides for consideration of legislation addressing the pernicious sustainable growth rate formula, the most threatening risk for access to care for our

unfortunately in the affordable care act, there is a huge glitch under obamacare. volunteer firefighters and first responders are counted in many ways as if they were full-time employees and therefore volunteer fire departments are getting hit with fines and taxes. it shouldn't be that way. it is causing a huge paperwork burden, not to mention a fiscal drain on the budgets of these small fire departments, emergency responding agencies in our communities and rural areas all across america. this legislation fixes this. i want to thank congressman for introducing this because he clearly understands as a former mayor, as someone who represents pennsylvania that i know has a lot of volunteer firefighters that these are the lifeblood of our blood of our communities and the last thing they need to do is worry about these obamacare mandates. what the congressman's bill does is he preserves the freedom to operate for our 780,000 public service volunteer firefighters removes this mandate and exempts them from this mandate so they can continue doing the public service that th

we can repeal obamacare and we will repeal obamacare. [cheers and applause] today's republican party in washington, d.c., has been beaten into submission, is increasingly afraid to speak the truth. it's time to say what everybody's already thinking. the emperors in washington they're not wearing any clothes. in case it's not clear right now, i am running for president without permission from headquarters in washington, d.c. [cheers and applause] i am tanned, rested and ready for this fight. here's the truth about most politicians. they're selfish. they're followers, not leaders. they worry more about their own fate than the country's fate. they take polls, figure out where the public is headed. they run out front, they pretend to be leading the parade. it's easy to be a popular politician. don't rock the boat. kiss a bunch of baby, cut ribbons, don't make big changes but i'm not going to take the easy way out. if you want somebody who is just going to pretend that everything is fine, just make some small tweaks, then you want somebody el
